| 2．Hara Museum of Contemporary Art |
| The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art (原美術館, Hara Bijutsukan) was one of the oldest contemporary art museums in Japan.[1] The museum was in the Kita-Shinagawa district, in the Shinagawa area of Tokyo. The building was originally built as a private mansion designed by Jin Watanabe in 1938 for the grandfather of current museum president and international collector Toshio Hara.[2][3] Designed in a Bauhaus style, it is a rare example of early Shōwa period architecture .[2] Following the war, it was used by the US and then served as the Embassy of the Philippines and the Embassy of Sri Lanka.[2] In 1979, it was converted to a museum. It underwent a major renovation in 2008, including a new lighting system designed by Shozo Toyohisa.[1] In November 2018, the Foundation Arc-en-Ciel announced that it would be closing the Shinagawa museum in 2020, leaving the Hara Museum ARC in Gunma Prefecture as the foundation's only museum.[4] |
